Features and Benefits

At B&Q we want you to be satisfied with your colour selection. Not all monitors will display colours the same and paint tins may not show the same colour as your walls do in natural light. We therefore recommend you order a tester pot online or pop in store to pick one up so you are sure that this is the right colour for you.

Our toughest most versatile paint

Great coverage in just one coat, saving you time and money

We recommend using a one coat roller for optimal application

For best results follow the instructions on the tin carefully, a second coat may be required if overpainting a darker colour with a lighter top coat

Health and Safety

Please note that this item has additional safety or regulatory datasheets available. The product may have possible health and safety hazards covered in these documents. Refer to the container for full information and always follow the instructions.

How to guides

Painting the walls and ceiling can be one of the most enjoyable parts of decorating a room. It's an easy way to refresh a space, or add character with a new colour.

To get the best finish, it's worth doing some thorough preparation before beginning and then working systematically around the room. With the right tools even the more difficult tasks, like painting the ceiling, can be made easier and more efficient.

Buying guides

For a simple way to update a room, you can’t beat a lick of paint. Whether you’re putting your stamp on your new home, or are renovating a room that needs some TLC, interior paint can transform any space in the house in a few hours.

There are lots of paints available for different surfaces and it can be a bit daunting if you aren’t sure what all the different types, finishes and features mean. We are going to talk you through the ins and outs of interior paint so that you can buy the right paint with confidence.

Questions to ask before you begin

Which room in the house are you painting?

What goes on in the room you are planning to paint? Maybe you are painting a kitchen or bathroom that would benefit from a moisture-resistant paint. Some rooms might need an extra hard-wearing paint which can be wiped down and cleaned such as hallways, landings or kid’s bedrooms. Finding the right paint isn’t just about which colour you pick. We have different types of paint designed for use in different rooms. By choosing the paint that is specially designed for the type of room you are painting, you will get the best end result.

What type of surface are you painting?

There are different types of paint for different surface materials. As well as a comprehensive selection of emulsion paints for walls and ceilings, we have a wide range of specialist paint including ones that are designed for wood furniture, brick walls, and tiles. Choosing the right paint for the right material will ensure a longer-lasting result and the best coverage.

What kind of look are you going for?

Maybe your home has quite a traditional look and would suit a subtle, matt effect paint. Or perhaps you have a more contemporary style that would look great with a satin or metallic finish paint. When selecting paint, think about what you want the final look to be, so that you can choose the correct finish as well as the right colour.

How much time do you have to complete your decorating project?

If you need to get your painting job done quickly, we have a wide range of quick-drying options that will help you get a whole room decorated in a few hours. We have quick dry wall paint, primers, and wood and metal paint to help you make the most of your time whatever you are painting.

What state is the surface in?

Some of our interior paints can be applied directly to the surface. Others may require a bit of preparation before you can begin painting. Perhaps you are painting a freshly plastered surface or previously untreated wood, or maybe you need to fill in some holes or sand down an uneven surface. We have paints and primers for all sorts of surfaces that will help you achieve a nice, even finish.

Beautiful ColourThe blue colour is beautiful. Goes really well with grey furniture and dark wood. More than one coat was required so I bought two tins (5 litres in total)

Worst paint everLiked the colour but this is the worst paint I have ever used. Does not cover in one coat as stated. Took three coats in some places and did not go on smoothly. The paint which I had applied lifted off when I went over it to get a smooth finish. Have complained. My advice buy the cheaper emulsion and apply two coats. Definitely won't ever buy the Premium paint again.

Poor and disappointing resultApplied this over previously emulsioned white walls with terrible results and it definitely didn't cover with one coat. The cutting in around the edges was almost impossible to do smoothly and rolling the larger areas gave equally poor results. The paint seemed to form a kind of skin as soon as it was applied and then smudged and dragged, leaving some areas bare again. Very disappointed. We are experienced decorators and have done loads of decorating over the past few years using other B&Q paints very successfully, but this is the worst paint we have ever used. The colour was quite nice though.

Defiantly not one coatI bought this paint as I liked the colour, I previously purchased a Dulux one coat and was really pleased with the results as I did take just one coat, this however was a total disappointment, 4 coats later and I hate it, its patchy and has taken 2 days of my time, wish I'd read the reviews before I'd bought it!!!
